Well I put a crowbar to my wallet and bought one of these, 50th Anniversary model. Now I can add a bunch of Volquartsen parts and end up spending twice what I would have for the VQ in the first place. So the trigger group arrives in the mail. I take the old one out, which even I managed to do. I had the new one on the bench so I swapped them out.
FF to the range. I thought GEEZ this doesn't seem too remarkable and the bolt release feature doesn't work. And the extended mag release looked about the same as the original.
THAT"S BECAUSE IT WAS.
Yes folks, the key to upgrading parts starts with actually installing them or they tend to add little value. I will report further if I don't get lost on my next range trip.
